Description
These brown butter chocolate chip cookies are rich, chewy, and packed with chocolate. The nutty flavor of brown butter takes these classic cookies to the next level.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups chocolate chips (semi-sweet or dark)
Instructions
- In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Cook until it turns a golden brown color and has a nutty aroma, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
- In a large bowl, combine the brown butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar. Mix until well combined.
- Add the eggs and vanilla extract to the sugar mixture and mix until smooth.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
- Fold in the chocolate chips.
- Cover the dough and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to 1 hour.
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Scoop 2 tablespoons of dough for each cookie and place them on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers are set.
- Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- For extra flavor, consider adding a pinch of sea salt on top of the cookies before baking.
- You can use a mix of chocolate chips and chunks for added texture.
- These cookies can be stored in an airtight container for up to a week.
